5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Old School RPG. If you like Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy 6, you'll love this game

I'm about 5 hours in. Im liking it. For the record, I am playing on a DSi and have not experienced one glitch or freeze which some people on a few forums are reporting.

The battle system is fine. The random encounter rate is a little high, but that's by todays standards. Id say it falls right in the middle of FF6 and FF4.

I absolutely LOVE the graphical style. So much of it it ripped DIRECTLY from Chrono Trigger and FF6. If you want to copy something, might as well make it the best.

Graphically this game looks VERY VERY VERY similar to Chrono Trigger. Theres really no other way to describe it. It FEELS like you are playing a reskin of Chrono Trigger. The animations are extremely similar to CT as well. The overworld looks the same as FF6

The game almost feels like a ROM hack combining the 2 with a little bit of Illusion of Gaia and Terranigma mixed in.

There are a few objects strewn about levels that are stolen right from both of those games.

There might be a bug or 2 and a few things people dont like about it, but you have to realize how small the development team on this game was. Its the best they could do. We need to support them so they make more games like this.

We need to send a message to Squarenix that we want more original old school stuff rather than over the top stuff and remakes

(that said I really want a sequel to Chrono Trigger)

The character design is quite nice. Its amazing how much more personality little sprites have compared to polygons.

The story is pretty traditional RPG, but I like it. Its better than the absolute bare bones Blue Dragon and the super overly complication newer JRPG games. The world knows what it want to be. It not some hybrid modern / future / past like many modern RPGs with cell phones and swords mixed in.

The music feels like it was made by Uematsu himself.

This game really feels like it was made by someone who did nothing but play Chrono Trigger and FF6 for 3 years and decided to make a game.

I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys an old school RPG

1.0 out of 5 stars A Real Shame
Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2009

I'm a giant RPG fan. And I was looking forward to this game a lot because it reminded me of my SNES favorite, Chrono Trigger, to the point where the graphics look almost copied. It arrived shortly after its release and I anxiously began to play. The first town was fun, the dialogue was sharp..and I was hooked. But then, I stepped onto the world map. And was greeted with a random battle. I moved about 2 spaces on the map, and then another. And another, and another, and so on. I played this for about 4 hours, and I realized that most of this game's playtime wasn't from story or towns, it was from playing SO many random batles.

And on top of this, the Battle system, which also resembles Chrono Trigger, is ill prepared. Your characters will find themselves unable to move because of obstacles on the map, yet the enemies can move freely. The enemies will also block your movement on the map, having some of your characters unable to do anything other than give up their turns because they are out of MP which ran out extremely quickly, and couldn't reach their targets to attack.

I gave this game such a low rating because of the fact that required far more patience than I had.

2.0 out of 5 stars A major disappointment
Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2010

I bought this game specifically because I love old school SNES RPGs. After about 8 hours of having no fun whatsoever I gave up and never looked back.

The graphics are adorable 16-bit sprites as promised, no complaints there. The music is completely forgettable. Story is fine, at least the 8 hours I played anyways.

The problem is the gameplay. Way too frequent random encounters. That in itself is not make or break, but when you pair it with boring lengthy battles the game starts feeling like a chore. The complete opposite of why I play video games.

I really wanted to like this game and was excited about it, but in the end let down. There are so many fantastic RPGs on the DS, don't waste your time/money on this one. Do yourself a favor and go back and replay those 16-bit RPGs. I promise you will have more fun.
